Saturday we were given free passes to the horse races. I had never been and neither had Rescue Rita. So Dh and The Littles and us girls took off for the races. I had no idea what to expect. Bugs had a less then wonderful attitude and said it was going to be Nascar with horses. Isn't he charming. We found our seats and Dh had the boys pick a winner and then he bet. Monkey won 4 dollars I think. We had so much fun!

Finally got him to look at me.
After the races we went to Rain Forest Cafe. Monkey was a brand new baby the last time we were there. He had such a good time and loved it. Bugs? Not so much. He was still having an attitude.

Tossing penny's.
I don't know the movie...what is it? Was there nothing on the menue for the vegitarian?? I predict 13 to be a long year as will the year 9. I wish you luck and God speed! I love the races it's SO fun!! I think Rain Forest Cafe is fun to walk around in, but their food is gross...sorry! Glad you guys enjoy them! :)
ReplyDeleteOur Rainforest Cafe was lost in the floods last year :( You can be 13 and not be THAT ugly. you want me to send his Uncle B to you, he won't tolerate it. He knows how to jerk 12/13 year olds jaws!
ReplyDeleteLOVE horse races!~
I want to see Uncle B jerk jaws. I love the RainForest Cafe. And Anita - I don't think their food is gross. I would have love the horse races too, how come I don't get to do anything fun?
ReplyDeleteI had a blast!! Never been to the races before and now I know why. I think I could become addicted to them if I lived closer and had someone who would go with me. I also love to go to the Rain Forest Cafe, it makes me feel like a kid:) Thanks again Nikki, for inviting me to tag along with your family. It was great fun with great friends, even though a certain young man had an attitude. Rita
